Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Immunogenicity of Ravulizumab in Chinese Adults Participants With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) (NCT NCT06578949)

NCT ID: NCT06578949

Last Updated: 2026-06-05

Results Overview

LDH is an indicator of intravascular hemolysis that occurs in participants with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. A decrease in LDH indicated reduction (improvement) in hemolysis. Baseline was defined as the average of all available on-study assessments prior to the first dose of study drug. The percent change in LDH was analyzed using a mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) with the fixed categorical effect of visit, fixed continuous effect of the LDH baseline value as covariates, and participant as random effect.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Day 183 (Week 26)

Population: FAS included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose (full or partial) of the study intervention. 'Overall number of participants analyzed' = participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the preceding 7 days. Participants scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Total scores range from 0 to 52, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Analysis was using a mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) with the fixed categorical effect of visit, fixed continuous effect of the baseline value of FACIT-Fatigue score as covariates, and participant as random effect.
